Hydrogen crystals

An excellent example for an enzymatic resolution process is reported for production of Pregabalin. This drug was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2004 against neurophatic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy and postherpetic neuralgia. Several different routes have been developed based on asymmetric hydrogenation, crystallization and biocatalytic resolutions [16-20]. The most powerful and currently applied process is based on a lipase resolution, shown in Figure 14.3. This process is one of the very few... 

In our study, we utilize a pure vibrational excited state t = 1 as the target of coherent control. The Hamiltonian describing the vibrational subspace of a para-hydrogen crystal with hexagonal close packed structure is given as...

In the unsynchronized resonance, just one bond is broken, with the concomitant transfer of one electron from one molecule to another and the formation of a new bond (Fig.2). In order for this to occur, one atom has to lose an electron, say atom 4, becoming a positive ion, and another atom must have an extra orbital to receive the extra electron, say atom 2, becoming a negative ion. Thus we form the structure (1-2 2 -3), that we will call metallic structure, where 2 , the metallic orbital, is the extra atomic orbital on atom 2. In a molecular hydrogen crystal, the unsynchronized resonance would provide a mechanism for charge transport and confer metallic properties to the system. 

Observation (a) A lively bubbling development of gas begins, the solution in the test tube gets hot, the piece of magnesium decreases in size and is completely dissolved. The gas in the second test tube reacts near the flame with a special pop sound hydrogen. Crystals of white salt crystallize from the solution after the evaporation of the water magnesium sulfate, (b) A small amount of gas can be observed, the gas has a peculiar smell hydrogen sulfide. 

We observed ESR spectra of new reactive species produced by y-rays irradiation of solid para-hydrogen at 4K [1], The species was assigned as H2 anions by experimental results [2-4]. Quantum tunneling diffusion of the H2 anions was reported [5]. The stabilization of H2 anions was discussed theoretically by the vacancy-assisted model in the hydrogen crystal [6,7]. The recent paper of Suter et al. [8] does not explain the important experimental results that H2 anions change into electron bubbles. 

The yields of H-T anions in y-rays irradiated solid H2 are roughly 1/30000 of those of H atoms, which are produced uniformly in hydrogen crystal. The very small yields of H2 anions suggest that the anions are produced only in some special sites such as vacancies or impurity defects. Ichikawa et al. discussed theoretically the stabilization of H2 anions at vacancies [6,7]. Sullivan et al. measured the vacancy formation energy in solid hydrogen as 91 K [10]. The concentration of vacancies... 

Therefore, the formation of H2 anions in hydrogen crystal should be discussed by taking into consideration the special properties of the crystal, such as the rigidity of lattice, vacancies, and defects. The cluster model by Suter et al. does not include the characteristic properties of hydrogen crystal.

The temperature dependence of the magnetic resistivity term in the basal plane Pm,b(7 )> is best fitted through a combination Pm,hiT) o AT" + BT Qxp -A/k T), where the first term predominates at low temperatures (T Alk ) and possibly signifies the presence of an AF excitation, while the second term is due to magnon excitation in anisotropic ferromagnets. Both the power n and the spin-wave excitation gap A decrease in the hydrogenated crystals, i.e. from nw5 to 2.5 and from 4/ b 38K to 6 K, for x going from 0 to 0.1.
